For as much drama as it brought, my life really was changed through peas.
I joined Peas 3 months after I got married. I was living in a new state. I didn't know anyone and I didn't have a job yet. Somehow, I stumbled on peas. On peas, I met needmysanity. When our infertility journey started, she suggested an infertility support group board to me. I joined, and through it, I met the couple we adopted our son from. For that reason, Peas will always have a place of honor in my heart.
What are your positive stories from peas?

The support, prayers, positive thoughts I received after my sudden cardiac arrests and subsequent complications will always put the 2peas community close to my heart.

The support I received when I first came here, which was less than a month after Wade died. And again when my dad died, after my home invasion, when I was forced to quit the nursing program.......lol
Love the Peas! You're always here when you're needed.
Hopefully my next announcement is my engagement LOL

The support I've gotten with my illness, when my dad died, the whole fiasco over my dad's estate--which is still in limbo.
There are so many peas who support each other and that means so much. Knowing people have your back and really care for you.

I had DD when I was 40. None of my close friends have kids and most of the other mothers I met already had their own group of friends, so it can be hard to break into those groups. And I'm not particularly good at making friends in the first place. The Peas have been such an amazing source of advice and support that I really haven't had available to me IRL. Thank you guys SO much.

One of the most recent things. I joined the 2Peas Genealogy group. And a very sweet Pea download a photo of my great grandfather for me. I didn't have access to the photo, but she took the time to look it up and post it for me. I have never seen a photo of him.
So thanks Jen, it has really made me smile to have that photo.

I have also made some great friends as a result of my membership on TwoPeas I would have never met these ladies without the message boards.
I always appreciated that no matter how nasty peas got to each other on threads, if there was a crisis, everyone pulled together.

I met my first set of friends in Atlanta here. I moved her in 2001 and for several years, didn't have any friends I didn't work with. I got into scrapbooking and found 2peas. We had several Atlanta Pea meet ups and met some awesome friends that I still hang out with today!

I was taking a shower this morning and realized that both my shampoo and my soap were Pea recommendations!
On a more serious note, Peas were there for me full force when my dad had a scary illness three years ago, and also when I have needed encouragement in the midst of depression and anxiety.

Eleven years ago, my family was preparing to move to a new city. I 'met' a Pea on-line who was asking about my new city because she was also about to move here. We got our kids together for a play date once we were both settled, and quickly formed a friendship. Our families have vacationed together, spent holidays and birthdays together, and even though hers is on their third country since living here, we still catch up when we can. I laugh when I think about she and I peamailing to arrange our first meeting--she wanted to know if I wanted to meet in a public place and/or have our dhs come along--I told her I wasn't overly scared to meet a mom of two preschoolers who I met on a scrapbooking message board  |

I met the Atlanta Pea group and still hang out with them.
I learn so much through the peas and come here for news.

There are quite a few ways, but most recently, GypsyGirl has been incredibly helpful with advice for my dd in Houston. It's meant a great deal to me.
